When it comes to garbage disposal, companies should focus on the main category of waste they generate rather than diverting their ‘sustainability attention’ elsewhere, according to Muhammad Danbappa, Chief Commercial Officer of Ehfaaz, who recently spoke at the Future of Sustainability Conference in Dubai.
